Charlie was great to work with. He always got right back to me if I had a question. He and his crew did great work. He has now done the roofs on all four corners in my neighborhood. I would highly recommend him.

C.S.Home Remodeling did a number of projects at Camp Wapsie. They tore out carpet and installed new LVT flooring, they replaced siding, fencing and a variety of other projects. The owner and employees were friendly and got projects done in a timely manner.

Charlie and his crew did an absolutely AMAZING job helping us with our fixer upper!! They did a complete bathroom remodel as well as several other smaller jobs and everything turned out great and we are very impressed! They were quick and thorough and the communication was great! They went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We will be using Charlie for all of our future projects and will definitely recommend him to everyone we know! We had an excellent experience with C.S. Home Remodeling!

This company explained all the options of products before starting and showed me the invoice of cost which was affordable. They did quality work and I will be calling them again when another project comes up!

We hired Charlie to side and roof our garage, install a new bay window, and put all new gutters on the house and garage. We're very, very satisfied with the completed projects. Charlie does great work, he's easy to work with, and does a fantastic job keeping the job site cleaned up. We're going to have him back next spring for the next project on the list.

They’re ok if you give them a small job. Not good business sense and doesn’t do well with managing money. Not good business legal side either he didn’t even have us sign a contract. Not good.

I would love to recommend a local business, but 6.5 hours after the time they should have been here no one showed up. We've also had no calls explaining why.I successfully reached someone after 2 calls with no answer who said they probably went to the wrong house, but still no one showed.We understand things come up, but at least call and explain? Or if you go to the wrong house, call and confirm the house number?I will say - the first guy I talked to seemed accommodating and understanding of the urgency. Just no follow-up.

Charlie and the crew from CS Home Remodeling completed a major exterior makeover of our home last summer. They did a complete tear-off and replacement of the roof on both the house and detached garage. They also removed all the cedar siding from both structures and replaced it with EDCO steel siding, soffit and fascia along with new gutters. Since it was a large job, we met with Charlie several times to design and plan the project. His experience, knowledge and recommendations were greatly appreciated. They showed up when they said they would, did a quality job and made our house look great!

We hired C.S. Remodeling to install new windows to match the newer windows in our home, new screen and entrance doors, replace the roof and siding on the garage, and replace the siding on our house. Let me first say, the finished product looks great, but how we got here was extremely bumpy. The owner, Charlie, is great to work with; he's easy going and is knowledgeable. Unfortunately, that "easy going" way he has can translate into some headaches later on. First, he never had me sign anything. The esitmate he gave me was confusing and he never had me sign it. Not that big of deal, but is a symptom of a bigger problem. We had several false starts due to weather, fine.; but the issue is he didn't call or text to tell me they wouldn't be there that day. One day it was just forcasted to rain, which it did not, and nobody showed up to start. He also is very scatter-brained when it comes to the days/times he tells you. His communication skills need lots of work. We never received a final, itemized invoice. Next, he ordered windows without consulting us. The windows he ordered did not match the newer windows in our home. To his credit, he ordered replacement sashes that day and assured me they would take 2 weeks to come in...they took a month. Which turned out to be a recurring problem with his crew, because it took his crew more than 2 weeks longer to finish the job than I was first told (this does not include the week, yes week, of false starts).We had also discussed the trim around the front windows and front door...which was not done as we discussed. I immediately called him and he came out that night. He gave me some excuse about the back doors (which made no sense) and then said that there were no 1×6's on the sides of the door. Instead of buying a 1×6 he told his crew to do this without consulting me. We discussed the solution and they fixed it. Looks great, but this could have been avoided by discussing the solution with me, the homeowner, first. Communication is not his strong suit.Now let's talk about his crew. They were slow. It took them over 2 weeks longer than it should have. They were constantly on their phones or sitting down. There were also several days where there were only 2 or 3 here to do the job. They were smoking next to open windows in the house, we have a 1yr old; they didn't care, so we ha to shut the (wrong) windows and turn the a/c on, even during cooler days. His crew does not clean up after themselves. Broken glass, nails, screws, siding shavings, insulation board, and cigarette butts are all things I'm STILL cleaning up several weeks later. There were nights they wouldn't even sweep the driveway unless they knew Charlie was coming that day. One of his employees was drinking a beer in my front yard after they had "finished for the day." My yard is not a bar. They also failed to finish around the windows and Charlie had to fix it when he delivered the correct window sashes. His crew is the most unprofessional group of installers I have ever had the displeasure of having worked on my house. He has told me that he let some of that crew go, but I have no real way of knowing.Charlie was not much better. He personally installed the (wrong) windows, the screen doors, and the entrance doors. He left dust, dirt, and wood shavings at EVERY window. In our 1yr old's room he left a long and sharp piece of wood, a small screw and metal piece on the floor. He apologized up and down, but it should never have happened. He also failed to properly install the front screen door glass.Because it took over 2 weeks longer than it should have and all the problems with his crew, Charlie "graciously" did not charge us for the correct window sashes, the front door fix, or the install of the doors. Great, right? Sure, until you remember that the windows were his fault for not consulting with us before ordering, as was the front door for not giving us what we had originally talked about. So really, he only didn't charge us $300 for door install.Would I recommend C.S. Remodeling? Nope.

Charlie is great, he spends the time to research the design to do it perfect. I had a custom roof built for my 5th wheel a few years ago and it turned out perfect, I was a Engineer for 14 years which means I'm picky. I recently hired Charlie to build a custom stationary dock on my 3 acre pond. This was a challenge but Charlie did the research and found a mounting system consisting of four 5' load bearing pins on footings at 45 deg to hold the dock solid. Charlie also found a long lasting Fiberon product with 25 year fade and stain warranty for the deck, it looks great. Charlie takes the time to do the job to your specifications and work within your budget. If you want a job done right, call CS Home Remodeling.

WASTE OF TIME. DON'T BOTHER. Called the guy for an estimate for some windows. Scheduled time over lunch. Came home from work, only to discover he blew me off. He didn't bother to call me. Called him, no answer, no response. Thanks a lot for wasting my time.

Dude came and looked at my project. Said he would email me a cost. Waited over a week, reached out and no response. Waited another week and texted him. No response. Obviously not a good business man if he has to ghost potential customers. Real business would be forward and just say they don’t want the job so we can both move on. Waste of tiMe!Please note that he never once told me that!! He didn’t even respond to me. So funny he can do it to a review. Please also note none of this work is “piece together”. It’s continuing on work that has been started and getting it through a part with the option to keep going if I like the work. Either way no work for you here and hopefully other people see through you.

They did an Excellent job of removing our old Chimey Stack, repairing the hole in the roof and singled our roof. They kept us well informed throughout the process, and finished in a timely matter. And you could bet theirs prices.

C.S. did our new roof. Our roof looks great and we are very happy with the price and quality of the work we had done, and will definitely use C.S.’s services again when we are ready for our new deck! We highly recommend!

The owner of the company is great. He works with you on all the details on the project. He also is very good on sticking to the scheduling, and it easy to get ahold of.
